    Kershaw returns from shoulder surgery, Ohtani hits 31st homer, Dodgers beat Giants 6-4

    Clayton Kershaw allowed two runs over four innings in his return from shoulder surgery, Nick Ahmed and Shohei Ohtani homered on consecutive pitches in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 6-4 Thursday. Kershaw made his first big league appearance since last October's NL Division Series opener against Arizona, when the three-time Cy Young Award winner was chased after one out and allowed six runs. Kershaw had surgery on Nov. 3 to repair ligaments in his shoulder capsule and made three minor league rehab starts, on June 19, July 13 and July 19.
